Bettys POV
I'm Elizabeth Cooper and I'm a Southside serpent, yeah not many people know about it...

Im...

Technically am but not a serpent but I am family and royalty.

It's complicated...

My mom is Serpent Queen and she is a total badass! I look up to her so much and my dad... well him and my mom got together and they truly fell in love. My mom and dad love each other but my dad lives in New York for work and he sends money over to my mom and I. We live on the Northside for a much safer living space, but you may be thinking...

Shouldn't we be poor living in Sunnyside trailer park?

Nope.

My dads parents actually kicked him out after finding out he was dating my mom so it was rough at the start...but my mom being a serpent, if anyone touched him and she told me herself even today if anyone hurts him she'll kill them and I believe her.

Because of this my dad worked hard just as much as my mom and now my dad works for the a big publishing company in New York! And my mom works for the local Riverdale Register here and I'm following in their footsteps to become a writer. No one at my school knows that I'm a serpent actually...I've been there for now two years and I'm entering my junior year and I'm kinda nervous.

My mom still runs things on the Southside but she doesn't want me involved. I get what she wants but sometimes I would love to share the experience and life of it! I mean it's where I was supposed to grow up and become this amazing member...but my mom and dad both agreed it would be better to keep me safe.

I was at my house as my mom was making dinner saying "first day of Junior year, do you like your classes?"

I nodded saying "yup, I have astronomy this year!"

She laughed and said "remember now that Southside High shut down serpents, Ghoulies all of them will be there, thankfully you have your fathers last name but please be careful?"

I said "mom relax, no one knows yet and no one will ever know."

She held my hands saying "your father would get beat up...he would get hurt...I don't want the same to happen to my baby girl."

She held my face and I sighed and said "you never really talk about it can I learn more?"

She smiled saying "maybe one day Elizabeth..."

I frowned begging "please? Pretty please!"

I asked and she laughed saying "maybe when your an adult."

I groaned and she said "come on Betty it's for the best..."

I frowned and sat as I ate my lunch. When I finished up my food I got up to clean my plates.

As I put the dishes away my mom said "I'm gonna be doing some errands, I'll be back, I'll pick up Pops for dinner."

She kissed my forehead and left as I sighed and went upstairs. As I was upstairs I looked out my window seeing the golden boy Archie Andrews next door. I smiled and he smiled back as I sighed and sat on my bed.

As I sat there I looked through my phone and I groaned and just left my house.

I went to the park, it helps me clear my mind when I needed to. As I was listening to music and writing on a table I got a call from my dad.

I answered quickly and said "dad!"

He laughed saying "well sweetheart you seemed to be missing me. Should I move back?"
